RAINY EVE CHANGED IT ALL

Droplets kissed the lips

Horns of vehicles on the streets filled the ears.

With you it dint seem irritable

Your warmth brushed every now and then.

The mechanism of breaks in motorbike

While it is pouring cats and dogs,

Triggered what followed next

Your arms wrapped around for support.

Never knew I could be romantic too

For years of marriage never made the way

Tiny droplets laid the road though

We drove slowly to bathe in rain.

Back home we dried ourselves

Your coffee filled heat within.

Nevertheless longed for your hug,

All bcus of the soft music that played in my heart

I captured every moment then

To enact it everyday after.

It relaxes every nerve from deep within

Adding value to our bond.

ALL AN ILLUSION

He walked in or rather gushed in,

More than just classmates.

Shared views and beliefs

Enjoyed his company for no reason.

In no time we became good pals

Wrapped him as one in my family.

Confided in him the most

Trusted him blindly.

Days passed and so did months

Seasons and festivals collectively celebrated.

Always held me beside

Felt belonged, against all existing odds.

The turn made it all crash

Expectations took over love and care

Leaving no traces behind of

Anything and everything we did share.

Ego took birth, the one that I feared the most

I am a failure even today

All my emotions crushed to dust

Am left with scars of hurt.

Yet I am delighted to realize

Well he is all in gay

I pressed hard on my eyes to clear

The water particles that barred

My view of his last glance.

I woke up finally from my dream

Or confronted the truth it was all an illusion.

MA HRM 2010-2012

 Pen, paper and scale to draw line

Along which I met the whole of twenty-nine.

Every one proved to be kid

I was happy though to be a part of it.

Classes, tests, and assignments in the air

This set all on fire and yet hands busily massaged the hair.

Burgers, sandwiches or meeting just to yap

McDonalds is the place that filled the gap.

Presentations the greatest fear I had

I confronted it with preparation really bad.

Technology topped it with no aid,

All well though it ended and left luck unpaid.

The routine had included internships

Though initially only heard cursing lips.

Nothing changed and we got closer

TANTHRA did it all quicker.

Dinu, Vaish, Maiths & Snake,

Teamed with me laying selves at stake.

It was all over at the buffet

Followed by the model exams unexpected.

Entered the next semester

There was a severe shift though.

Everything seemed crashing down

Attitude, stinkers flew every now and then,

Yet something held us intact from within.

Met the most unexpected soul then,

The happiest moment was it to learn

The company I never had

Ever before while at work or even otherwise.

Unforgettable is the PATTA RAP song

Will yearn to hear it from the only one.

Whenever will hear it’s bong

The curve on my face would unconsciously deepen.

Nearing the end of a year

I have mixed feelings.

Happy to near placements and get back to work

Pinch of pain to leave behind fun with junk.

THE FRIEND

I fell and my lips almost kissed the ground

I sat down to cry over it.

You wiped my tears and the mud off the wound

While I kept staring at it.

Up we stood and the hug you gave

Until you felt my heart beat fine.

We walked back home holding hands,

You cleaned my wound spic and span.

Those moments will forever remain

Renewed and alive drawing the curve on my face

Though ages later we might not find time

For these are just, in my life, one particular phase.

You were, are and will always be

To make me smile and laugh out loud

Never countenancing even a moment of grief to peep

The only friend being tied in a blissful bond.

THE LEFT ALONE

I cannot be what I am not

For it is being deceitful.

I would end up in a greater mess

Than being left alone.

I refrain from adjustment

I refrain from manipulation

I believe in confrontation

And that’s why I am left alone.

It hurts with no companion

Yet I am at peace.

Sooner or later I will be on my way

No grief for being left alone.

I stand out from the rest

And for once realized I am the uninvited.

Aloud spoke the voice from within

"Cheer up buddy, I am there."

While most have the whole world with them

I have myself to hold me tight.

Surrounded and wanted by others all the while

While in real they are left alone!!!
